Great plan.
Where does all the money come from?
It’s not like it exists in some actual form today.

And therein lies the rub.

As much as I hate spending money that's not accounted for like TARP, something like this justifies, I think, not having the offsetting income. Mainly because SS is going to start getting far into the red, and a small bailout now (taxpayer $$) is much better than continuous, growing, expenditures down the road (taxpayer $$$$$$$$). We certainly can cut spending elsewhere for this, but whether we do or we don't, it would still save $$ compared to what SS is going to end up doing.
